GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Silent Venus Shower Pump is a small, compact automatic lifting station suitable for pumping of greywater off places
in private dwellings where greywater cannot be led directly to the sewer by means of a natural downward slope. It is typically
used for sinks, showers, and baths in basements below sewer level. The Silent Venus Shower Pump can also be used in
order to avoid costly renovations or modernizations of existing buildings, where the location may be remote from the main
soil pipe so that a natural slope cannot be established.
The Silent Venus Shower Pump is made of lightweight plastic and has a surface that is easy to clean. Installed correctly, the
Silent Venus Shower Pump is maintenance-free. We recommend using descaler fluid at least once a month to keep buildup
from forming and ensure the longevity of the unit.
The Silent Venus Shower Pump should not be used for strong chemicals or solvents or impurities such as hair, cotton ball,
plastic, metal products, construction materials, etc as this may void the warranty.
